Getting Short Object from a Positive short Value Example

The following example shows the usage of Short valueOf(short s) method to get the Short object using the specified short value. We've created a int variable and assigned it a positive short value. Then using valueOf() method, we're getting the object and printing it.

package com.tutorialspoint;

public class ShortDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      short s = 170;
      System.out.println("Number = " + s);
    
      /* returns the Short object of the given number */
      System.out.println("valueOf = " + Short.valueOf(s));
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Number = 170
valueOf = 170

Getting Short Object from a Negative short Value Example

The following example shows the usage of Short valueOf(short s) method to get the Short object using the specified short value. We've created a int variable and assigned it a negative short value. Then using valueOf() method, we're getting the object and printing it.

package com.tutorialspoint;

public class ShortDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      short s = -170;
      System.out.println("Number = " + s);
    
      /* returns the Short object of the given number */
      System.out.println("valueOf = " + Short.valueOf(s));
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Number = -170
valueOf = -170

Getting Short Object from a Zero short Value Example

The following example shows the usage of Short valueOf(short s) method to get the Short object using the specified short value. We've created a int variable and assigned it a zero value. Then using valueOf() method, we're getting the object and printing it.

package com.tutorialspoint;

public class ShortDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      short s = 0;
      System.out.println("Number = " + s);
    
      /* returns the Short object of the given number */
      System.out.println("valueOf = " + Short.valueOf(s));
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Number = 0
valueOf = 0
